Meathead 130' 5.11c
Jerry Handren, Andy Ross. Dec 20, 2020.
Single rack to 4". Triple 1", Quadruple 1.25". A couple of large wires.
This route requires a bit of strategy to manage the rope drag. The author led the initial crack on one rope, attatched to the harness by twin carabiners. After moving right around the arete, he clipped the first two bolts with a second rope, then unclipped and dropped the first rope, before continuing to the top.
It's never very hard but this route is long and pumpy. Some of the rock low down is quite chunky but the final crack is amazing.
